Looking for feedback

I am just starting to turn so other than “Fabulous” I may not be of help. It looks like allot of thought went into the layout. Maybe someday I will be able to add more, at this point pens and wine stoppers is all I am doing. Need to explore the world of turning, thanks for sharing.

I have been turning for a couple months now and I must say I’m impressed with the workmanship. not only did it look great you seemed to manage keeping all the lines in line with the above and below pieces. this impressed me!

How knows… this product Im using could dull in a year. I dont know
